title: A distorted honeycomb motif in divalent transition metal compounds based on 4-phosphonbenzoic acid and exchange coupled Co(II) and Cu(II): synthesis, structural description and magnetic properties.
abstract: The first example of a two-dimensional inorganic hybrid material with cobalt as an open-shell transition metal ion and 4-phosphonbenzoic acid as a linker is presented together with its copper analogue. For both metal ions the inorganic part consists of edge-sharing metal-oxygen octahedra leading to a metal honeycomb motif. The magnetic properties of the cobalt compound are reported together with those of the corresponding copper compound based on the remarkably six-coordinated copper(II) ions.
